title: [Prevention of viral hepatitis B transmission in the transplantation program].
abstract: The authors discuss possible detection of HBsAg with regards to demands of the transplantation programme. They compared the sensitivity of HBsAg detection by ELISA on kits of various firms, using a panel of sera previously examined by the RIA technique. The most sensitive and most rapid answer on the presence of a surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus by the ELISA technique can be obtained using a Wellozyme kit of Wellcome Diagnostics Co., i.e. within 60 minutes. The firm must, however, equip the kits with double volumes of positive and negative controls.
